Every woman should Practice walking

There is no reason why the average
woman should not add tenfold to her en-
joyment of life and out-of-door living by
cuitivatipg the noble art of walking, a
delicate woman, properly dressed, and who
knows how TO walk, can walk twenty-five
miles of summer afternoon without in
jury when an equivalent amount Of other
exercise might produce serious injury.
Walking is the natural and normal eXer-
else, and hurts no woman who sets rightly
about it. 4 woman who is unaccustomed
TO vigorous walking, in order to become a
good pedestrian, should look first to her
shoes These should be broad across the
forward part of the foot, offering not the
least obstruction to the free movement of
the toes. The heels should be low and
broad, and the shoe should fit rather snugly
about the heel and instep. The full dress
equipment should weigh upon honest scales
not more than two and half or three
pounds, and should hang from the shout
ders without any band. pinned or buttoned
or laced about the waist. No woman can
walk in a corset. The walker must tie
comfortable enough to be unconscious of
her attire. \ hat that shades the eyes is
in order. So prepared, try any distance
that does not prove fatiguing as an initial
experiment. 1t will probably be from a
mile and a half to two miles, and must be
walked at a brisk pace, three miles and a
half an hour being good limit. When
| this can be done without backache or foot
WEAKNESS, and well woman ought to have
no difficulty at her first trial, increase the
distance during the leisure days of the
summer vacation daily, maintaining the
same gait, and fifteen miles day for a
week or fortnight in succession. twenty
| five miles on any occasion that demands it,
will be found within any ordinary capacity

The Pretty Typewriter.

The amazing growth of New York, the
invention of the typewriter, and the nat
ural intelligence of the American girl,
have developed in this city class of
young women who have no exact counter
part in other places. She has profted by
her public school education. She dresses
simply and in good taste, and in such ma
terial as her slender purse will allow. She
does not put on any airs or pretend to be
what she is not. She is pure and virtuous
as rule, and in no way approaches the
students sweetheart or grisette of Paris of
thirty-fve years ago, who IS now practi-
cally extinct Her father is often Il poor
clerk or an employee in subordinate posi-
ton with some respectable concern, or in
an occupation even lower in the social
scale. The girl may begin to earn money
as cash-girl at 81 30 week in some dry
goods store; then as she grows up she will
be promoted and become an assistant in
the same establishment, with salary of
s. to Sc. Tired of this drudgerv, she NAV
learn type-writing and stenography, which
enable her to earn more money, but she
can never be sure of permanent employ
ment. Her parents may live in a small
fiat in an humble way, and she often has
little brothers and sisters to look after. 1t
is but natural that she should seek for
some excitement. She does not want to re-

or the grocer's young man has no charms
for her. Neither does she care for the dry
goods clerk, even if he is handsome. for he
is generally as poor as herself, and not as
intellectual or intelligent. She flies for
higher game, and generally succeeds in
bringing it down. In the office in which
she may be employed, say lawyers or an
insurance company, there are generally
some wcll-bred young or middle-aged
bachelors, who may admire the pretty
typewriter. They are always on Il higher
plane socially than she is, and move in a
circle which she can scarcely hope to enter.

With Using Seditious Language.

SSihS
Cork, September 23d.-Wm. O'Brien,
editor of United Ireland, who is charged
by the Government with sedition. under
the Coercion Act, was taken today from
the Cork jail to Mitchellstown, where the
alleged seditjous language was used, to
stand trial before the Court there. AS he
left the city under guard of detachment
Of hussars and police he was loudly
cheered. Upon their arrival at Mitchells-
town o Brien was received with tremendous
cheering by the large crowd which had
gathered to welcome him. The crowd
manifested gyeat excitement, but there
were no indications of disorder.
O'Brien was Immediately conveyed by
his guards to the Courtroom. Many Eng
fish ladies were present to witness the trial,
and Mr.. O'Brien was the recipient of bou-
Quets from a number of them.
When the case was opened several police
men were called as witnesses for the Gov
eminent. They testified from memory as
to O'Brien's language, which they asserted
tended to incite his listeners 10 violence.
During the hearing of this evidence g
procession armed with sticks and headed
by wagon carrying a band marched into
the town from the country. The hussars
stopped the wagon, but allowed the other
part OF the procession to proceed. The
procession took up a position close to the
Courtroom, but order was observed.

The Terrible Hurricane and Floods

Brownsville and Matamoras.
BROWNSVILLE TEX, September ODD
The telegraph several days ago gave notice
Of a hurricane in the southwest of Havana
and moving this way, and for two or three
days the weather indications showed the
approach of the storm, and though the
barometer and the tide in the gulf equally
gave warning of coming bad weather, this
storm gave no notice of its immediate ap-
proach. At 8 o'clock Tuesday evening the
norther that had been blowing for several
days increased III fierceness, with heavy
gusts of rain.
In short time the hurricane was on the
town in full force the wind reaching in the
hight of the storm velocity of seventy
eight miles an hour All night long it con
tinued bowling, being mingled now and
then with the crash of falling houses, the
rending sound of falling trees, rafting of
fences as they went over, or shouts of those
deserving their tumbling residences or i'm
ploring aid.
Morning finally dawned upon a scene of
desoiation water-illed streets, through
which the roaring north wind drove the
rain like great volleys of small shot; the
fallen trees, ruins of houses. and PROSTATE
fences, all half-submerged in water, render
ing passage difficult and at times dangerous.
At $50 P. NJ. the wind lulled, and there was
almost a dead calm. The wind arose at in
teryals, bat not so severe until this morn
ing, when it ceased.
The duration of the storm NAV be said
to have been Jhirty.five hours. The rain
fall was very heavy-10.40 inches. The
damage in the country, outside the two
cities, is incalculable. Countless head of
cattle and sheep have been lost, and crops
OF cotton, corn and sugar cane are COM
pletely Frustrated and destroyed.
One rancher on q small place calculates
his loss in cotton alone at $4,000, and
many others are equally heavy losers. The
total losses will be far beyond a million
dollars. In Brownsville the chief sufferers
We're among the poor. Between sixty and
eighty "iackals," or the cheaper class Of
dwellings have been blown down, and fully
300 partially unroofed and rendered unhab-
liable. Thetelegraph from Point Isabel is
down, and it is not known how things are
there. There is great suffering among the
poor, many Of whom are without resources.
IN MATAMoRAs
The narrow streets during the storm were
seas of water from ankle to nearly hip
deep. Even in the more central parts of
town the streets are all incumbered with
debris. In the city about dozen houses
of the better class, and fully $50 or 200
4" jackals were Frustrated, while from 400
10 500 were unroofed or shattered. The
public buildings and stores, and the better
class of dwellings leaked like sleeves, and

Cholera on Board.
NEW YoRK, September 23d.-The steam
shin Alesia. which arrived below last
night from Marseilles and Naples with GOO
messengers. has Asiatic cholera aboard.
Eight of her passengers died on the pas

Health Officer found four cases. He has
sent the Alesia and her passengers to the
west bank in the lower bay.
The Alesia lett Marseilles August 30th,
and Naples September Sd. She is con-
signed to James X ElWell & Co.
On September 18th Luigi Maria, steer
age passenger, was taken sick, and died on
the 18th. Paul Antonio Balldyars, another
steerage passenger, aged IS, was taken sick
and died on the same date (the f5th.) Jean
Lenivalin, a sailor, aged 49, eied the fol-
lowing day. in less than twenty-four hours
from the time he was taken with the dis
ease. On the eth Jean Sor2ma, sailor,
aged 80, was taken sick. He died on the
18th. Serafin Delis, aged q, a steerage
passenger, died on the 2Sth. Anna Veltri,

tonic Scala Veno, aged 50, was also ailing
at the time of coming aboard, and died on
the Odd, though without any symptoms OF

The Alesia is now IN Lower Bay. The
sick passengers will be transferred to the
Swinebnrn Island Hospital, and all the re,
manning passengers will be transferred tc
Hoffman Island for observation.
The ship will remain in Lower Bay until
she has been thoroughly fumigated and
cleapsed.
THE GoyERNMENT NOTIFIED.
WASHINGTON, September 23d.-Surgeon-
General Hamilton, of the Marine Hospital
Service, has received a dispatch from New
York confirming the press report of the ar
rival there of the steamship Alesia with
cholera on board. The telegram merely
announced the facts in the case, as pub
lished, without making any request for
Government assistance, and it is thought
the Quarantine authorities of New York
feel confident OF their ability to stamp out
the disease without asking the help of the
United States Health Officers. Dr. Stoner
of the Marine Hospital Service, says no au-
thority is vested III that Bureau to interfere
in State quarantine affairs unless a request
comes from the Health officers of the State
for assistance. New York, he SAYS, has a
very large and efficient Quarantine Board
fully able, in his opinion, to grapple sue
cessfully with the exigencies of the occa1
sion.
Yo'UAUsE FOR FEAR.
New YeBK, September 24th-A. M.-Pres.
ident Bayles, of the Health Board, is not
at al alarmed over the outbreak of cholera
on the Alesia il is too late in the season
he says, to worry. The Department is in
good shape to deal with the disease.

CELERY AS FooD-Celery is one of the
most fragrant plants the products of which
are used as food. In its wild and uncul-
tivated state it is of rank flavor and pecu-
liar smell. The art of the gardener makes
the stalks tender and agreeable to the taste.
They are covered with dirt as they grow,
the leaves only being allowed to appear
above ground. By this means light is ex-
Guided, and the shoots are kept white, mild
and sweet. Celery should not be eaten
with or after hearty meal, as the stomach
at that time is sufficiently taxed and I'M
able to bear the additional burden which
this vegetable would impose upon it.
When taken at lunch, with bread and
cheese, it is easily digested-a most pleas
ing relish.
